His Dark Obsession

66. A Stance

ZEDKIEL.

I look down at her, but I don’t react. As much as I want to know what she’s done

with Evangeline, I refuse to entertain her.

Reacting as I normally would, will only harm Evangeline.

“You like me better, don’t you?” She whispers, running her hand up my arm.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself.” I say calmly as she squeezes my biceps.

It was taking a lot for me to not lose my cool and demand for her to bring

Evangeline back because I know she won’t and it will only make matters worse,

and the last thing I need is for her to react in front of everyone.

“So… you are saying that Prince Zedkiel is the rightful King simply because he’s

a hybrid? Forgive me, your majesty, but you could have simply bedded a

vampire woman for this child. It’s not enough.”

Darvin sneers.

He’s a f*cking a*shole of an Alpha. Each word that leaves his mouth is angering

me more and more.

I clench my jaw, and I realise that there is not enough proof to make them

believe that anything Dad said refers to me… However, even if it hasn’t

convinced them, it has opened my eyes to far more.

“His Lycan is the original one. He is Zerachiel! The Oracle herself confirmed

this!” Dad states, his eyes flashing. 1

“Convenient that she is no longer around to attest to that.” Ragnar remarks

lazily. 1

“And Zed has never mentioned his Lycan’s name.” Draven remarks, watching

me with keen interest. “I’m certain his Lycan doesn’t even talk to him or maybe

I’m just assuming.’

I frown. This is dragging out for far too long and with Evangeline in this form, I

want to get out of here as soon as possible. “There isn’t any need for all of this.

The Chamber of Truth never classed me as the rightful… king…”

Frowning, I trail off as I remember the entity from the Chamber.

His appearance…. His words…

“What?! Have you not got anything else to say?” Sinclair sneers. 1

My eyes flash as I glare at him coldly. ” You have already numbered your days.”

I snarl. “I meant that the chamber never revealed me as king. It didn’t show any

of us as the next king! So it comes down to this tournament. These tests are

made to filter out the incapable from the capable correct? Then tell me, do you

not have faith in the tests you have set? I’ll

participate… and not all of these tests are physical. Let’s see who has the mind

and the ability to become a true leader.” I reply, prodding the side of my head.

“It’s not all about the strength, two rounds and it’s made you all insecure?! If a
